In the 80s and 90s Filmmakers, Color Filmmakers began making films.
With the popularity of black films like Lee's first feature length film " She's Gotta Have It",
Julie Dash's "Daughter's of the Dust", and so forth it was an exciting time. Then it happened. Hooolllyyywwwoooddd

Today there are sssoooo many opportunities. So many. As an individual in general there are. At times I feel like the industry is over-saturated with material. To some degree it is. But in other ways it is not. So I will continue. I'll put the pen to the pad.

So, this was something I made today. I've been having this obsession with these street lights right outside of my school. Its the perfect place for something to happen. Anything. I always notice at night all these trucks go by. It feels like Something kinkified type shit could happen. A housewife could run out of her house into the night never to be seen again, a man from the mental institution next door could run for his life, or a some kid could just wond down the street. It could happen. Who's to say it hasn't already? you got the hitchiker feel too. I was trying to go off of this theme that anything could happen in the night. Its one of the worst and best times you know? Your imagination is free to run wild in the best or worst kind of way.
Once I finished editing, and a bit while I was filmming, I had this feeling that I sometimes shoot alot of machines or mechanical things. It felt cold or a little bland which I want to steer away from. I hope it didnt come out that way. Maybe this isn't true but thats what I felt a little but not so much while I was editing. So, I thought of machines in the night. Like...look at all this rickety looking shit! It almost has a feel of what life could be like when technology or machinery has become rustic or disregarded.
